Compilation on AIX...

[Jean-Yves LENHOF <jylenhof () banque-accord com>]

Hi,

I've some problems compiling libpcap on AIX 5.3

When launching configure as delivered, I've this problem :

./configure --prefix=/sysapp/opensource/libpcap_1.0.0
<snip>
checking for netinet/if_ether.h... yes
checking for ANSI ioctl definitions... yes
checking for strerror... yes
checking for strlcpy... no
checking for vsnprintf... yes
checking for snprintf... yes
checking for library containing gethostbyname... none required
checking for library containing socket... none required
checking for library containing putmsg... none required
checking for ether_hostton... yes
checking whether ether_hostton is declared... yes
checking if --disable-protochain option is specified... enabled
./configure[6236]: syntax error at line 6659 : `newline or ;' unexpected
root:name_of_my_server:/sysapp/sources/opensource/libpcap_1.0.0/libpcap-1.0.0:()
#

To resolve it, I've changed the first line from #!/bin/sh to 
#!/sysapp/opensource/bin/bash (seems to be a bashism in the configure 
file)
and going with bash shell and export SHELL=/sysapp/opensource/bin/bash

checking if dl_hp_ppa_info_t struct has dl_module_id_1 member... no
checking if unaligned accesses fail... no
rm: cannot remove directory net
ln: net/net exists.  Specify -f to remove.
checking for USB sniffing support... no
configure: no Bluetooth sniffing support
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /sysapp/opensource/bin/ginstall 
-c
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating pcap-filter.manmisc
config.status: creating pcap-linktype.manmisc
config.status: creating pcap-savefile.manfile
config.status: creating pcap.3pcap
config.status: creating pcap_compile.3pcap
config.status: creating pcap_datalink.3pcap
config.status: creating pcap_dump_open.3pcap
config.status: creating pcap_list_datalinks.3pcap
config.status: creating pcap_open_dead.3pcap
config.status: creating pcap_open_offline.3pcap
config.status: creating config.h
root:name_of_my_server:/sysapp/sources/opensource/libpcap_1.0.0/libpcap-1.0.0:()

And compiling failed immediately :

#make
        gcc -O2 -I.  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -D_U_="__attribute__((unused))" -c 
./pcap-bpf.c
./pcap-bpf.c:1025: error: static declaration of 'bpf_load' follows 
non-static declaration
./pcap-bpf.c:415: error: previous implicit declaration of 'bpf_load' was 
here
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.


Stop.
root:name_of_my_server:/sysapp/sources/opensource/libpcap_1.0.0/libpcap-1.0.0:()
#

Have you an idea of how to make it to compile cleanly ?
